Frequently Asked Questions
If God doesn't change, why does He seem different in the Old and New Testaments?
God's character hasn't changed — our understanding has deepened. He was always gracious (even in judgment) and always just (even in mercy). The full revelation of His character came in Jesus Christ, who perfectly embodied both justice and grace. The same God speaks throughout Scripture.
Does God change His mind?
Passages where God 'repents' (Genesis 6:6, Jonah 3:10) use anthropomorphic language — describing God's actions in human terms. God's character and purposes never change, but His responses to human choices can differ. When Nineveh repented, God's consistent character (mercy toward the repentant) produced a different outcome.
